Congrats to Lou for hitting his 250th WOD the other day! Keep on racking them up!

Events:

Saturday 12/20 the 12 WOD’s of Xmas and Ugly Sweater Party!

We are running our annual “12 WOD’s of Xmas” workout. It is also going to be our Ugly Sweater Potluck/Food truck lunch! We will have the Outside the Box paleo food truck here serving food options. Anyone can also bring any potluck food you want to share. Wear your ugly sweater, and prepare for a fun workout and some good food!

  • Class times: 9:30, 10:30 and additional wave beyond as needed.
  • WOD is performed like the song “The 12 Days of Christmas”. Start with 1 rep of the first exercise, then do 2 of the second exercise and 1 rep of the first exercise. Then 3, 2, 1 reps etc. all the way up to the 12th day and back down.
  • Outside the Box Food truck will be onsite and serving from approximately 11:00am to 1:30pm
  • We will setup some tables for potluck items (they don’t have to be paleo!)

Attention SRCF: A member of our community and family in the gym needs some help. Amy N. has an 8 year old nephew who just this week was diagnosed with leukemia and has begun chemotherapy. Amy started a gofundme.com site to help her brother’s family offset the financial burden that is surely another stress on an already stressful situation.
We want to help. So on Tuesday 12/9 we are programming the WOD “Hope for Cures” (it’s the WOD that CrossFit created to benefit finding cures for cancer/terminal illness in kids). We are asking that anyone who does the WOD that day donates to help young Ethan’s family and are asking for any donation that can help. No matter how small. If you don’t want to donate online at the below link and have cash then bring it on Tuesday and we will be sure to get it to Amy. Let’s help out one of our own. 3-2-1 Go Ethan! You can beat this!

Big changes coming for the CrossFit Games Open and Regionals. I have to say I love these changes. It’s truly getting harder to advance through the Games season and there is now a better chance of seeing the fittest CrossFit athletes compete at the Games.

Happy 1 year CrossFit anniversary to Curtis, Will, Joe W., and Peter! They all completed the same OnRamp session together and asked that we program “Baseline” to celebrate and have a rematch from that first outing for them. It’s great to see not only the physical progress and transformations but also the friendships that people develop in the gym. Onward to that 2 year anniversary!
From Peter:
“This week marks my one year anniversary as a part of the SRCF family. This has been an amazing experience of physical and mental development. CrossFit has truly had a profound, positive impact on myself and family. As I have visited other boxes this past year I’ve realized it’s not just CrossFit that is responsible for this lifestyle change, but it’s SNO-RIDGE CrossFit that deserves the credit. Thank you Tom, Michelle, all of the Coaches and SRCF members for creating and supporting this special community. Looking forward to another great year (and that 1st Muscle Up).”
